I was doing every morning 20-30 minutes of aerobics and weight training 5 days in the evenings. I had some success right off but am now at a plateau. I'm thinking about switching around my routine. I realized after reading some info on this board that I wasn't allowing my muscle time to recuperate and could be defeating the purpose of weight training. I'm thinking of going to M-F weight training, T-TH-Sat cardio for 1 hour and Wed & Sun off. How does this sound? My intention is fat reduction while maintaining or building muscle. I was taking E/C/A twice a day, Betagen morning and evening after workouts. Protein drink morning and evening after workouts also. Diet is pretty good, have my cheat day sometimes more than once a week, but mostly stick to it.    | ||

What is your body fat?? Make sure your diet is consisting of plenty of protein and moderate carbs. Also drink tons and tons of water. I wouldnt weight train more than 3-4 days a week so you have ample time to recover and GROW! What is the intensity of your cardio. I would not do that more than 3-4 days a week for like 30 minutes or so. What is your diet like? Make sure your training is intense. Watch those cheat days...they sneak up on ya   | ||

Bodyfat I'm guessing is about 23-25%. What about the switch from the 5 - 30 minutes cardio sessions to 3 - 1 hour sessions? | ||

Sounds good skorty. Fewer but longer cardio sessions seem to kick many people's metabolism back into gear. Keep us posted. |
